Chapter 360 The game begins
Shen Li turned his gaze to Gu Chengan: "If you have anything to say, save it for the competition."
Gu Chengan smiled and said, "In this Kyoto, no one dares to challenge me. You are the first one. I hope you won't disappoint me too much."
"Brother Cheng'an, let's go back. I'm a little tired." Shen Yanyan said softly.
Gu Chengan's expression immediately softened: "Okay, I'll take you back to rest."
When turning around, Shen Yanyan glanced at Shen Li, her eyes full of warning.
Shen Li understood what she meant. She was simply afraid that Gu Chengan would pay too much attention to her, so she wanted her to stay away from Gu Chengan. After all, based on past experience, if he paid too much attention to her, he would probably fall in love with her like Qin Yu did?
It would be fine for others, but not for Gu Chengan. And it should be impossible to happen. After all, when he saw her, he looked like he wanted to kill her.
"What are you looking at?"
Shen Li retracted his gaze and looked at the person who was speaking: "Look at your Yanyan, oh! Now it may not be your Yanyan anymore, she doesn't care about you anymore, and she has a new target."
Qin Yu laughed: "Ali, if you talk like this, I will think you are jealous. Also, she and I have nothing to do with each other from the beginning to the end. Whatever she wants to do is her business. Don't involve me."
"Didn't you say before that she was the right person?"
Qin Yu paused for a moment: "Ali, that was a lie, I told you that."
Shen Li saw that his expression seemed to begging for mercy, so he didn't say anything else. This man looked really handsome today. He was wearing a red official robe, a black official hat, and black official boots and belt. He looked like a monster.
Other people might wear this outfit like a handsome young man, but he looks like a demon and powerful official.
Deceptive and dangerous.
"Why are you here in your official uniform?"
"I just came out of the palace and didn't have time to go back to change." Qin Yu said, walked closer to Shen Li, and whispered: "Does this look good?"
Shen Li took two steps back, looked at his family sitting behind him, then turned around and said, "Don't think too much. My life and death are at stake today. You should be serious."
"Don't worry, I won't let you lose."
Shen Li sat in his seat and waited for a while, seeing that almost all the seats were occupied. There were still many people who came later and had no seats, so they could only stand aside and watch.
"Brother, when you attended such an event before, were there so many people there?"
Shen Han glanced at the people standing there and smiled. "How could that be? Normally, there are still many seats that are not filled. I guess this time it's probably because of your bet that everyone came to watch the fun. After all, the other party is the wife and son of the current prime minister, and Master Gu is the king of Cuju. Every time he participates, no one else will get the first place. You are challenging him now, who wouldn't want to see the result?"
"Are you sure you didn't come here to see me lose?"
"We are about to go on stage, don't mention losing." Shen Han said seriously.
"I was wrong, big brother. Don't worry, I will definitely win against your sister."
"That's right, big brother will be here to cheer you up."
Liu Dahua also said: "And mother, I have already given instructions at home. I am just waiting for you to win the game and come back so that we can celebrate."
At this time Jin Duobao and Ruan Heng also came over.
"Let's go to the back room and change clothes." Jin Duobao said.
Shen Han stood up and bowed, saying, "I'm counting on you all."
"Lord Shen, I can't stand you doing this." Ruan Heng said.
"Don't worry, brother. I'm here." Qin Yu said.
The six people walked to the back room, changed their clothes, and then went to the side to get their number tags.
Shen Li looked at the sign in his hand with the number four written on it and curled his lips. This number seems unlucky?
At this time, someone struck the gong, and Team One and Team Two had already started.
Shen Li watched them playing Cuju back and forth on the court. She was no longer a novice in Cuju.
If they had played, they would still have won the game.
There is no gender limit for team members, but overall, there seem to be fewer women.
She heard that in Kyoto, there were women's and men's teams before, but later because the current princess was a Cuju master, she suggested that men and women could form teams freely, because she felt that women could also play well and were no worse than men.
The first game ended not long after, and then Shen Li and six other players came on the court.
Not long after she started, she discovered that the ball always rolled towards her feet and she didn't even have to grab it.
In the end, it was almost an easy win.
It took much faster than the first game.
Even after the scene, Shen Li hadn't come back to his senses.
"Did they let us go on purpose?" Jin Duobao asked.
Qin Yu nodded: "Yeah."
"But why is this happening?" Shen Li couldn't understand. If they were eliminated, wouldn't it be very beneficial to Gu Cheng'an? He wouldn't even have to take any action.
"It should be Gu Cheng'an's instruction. He doesn't want us to be eliminated. He wants to compete with us personally and then humiliate us." Qin Yu said with narrowed eyes.
"Is this guy sick? Is he so confident in himself?"
"Don't you think it would make him happier if he defeated us himself and then humiliated us?" Qin Yu said.
"Yes, this is indeed what he would do, but I don't understand. I used to be on good terms with him, and he's not the kind of person who has a hard time with women. Why did he target Ali?" Jin Duobao said, looking at Qin Yu: "Is it because of you?"
He didn't know Qin Yu's background, but he felt that there was some hostility between him and Gu Cheng'an. Shen Li had just come to Kyoto, and that was his first time meeting Gu Cheng'an in Fuyuan Building, so he should have no chance to offend him.
But when they met for the first time, Gu Cheng'an targeted Shen Li. He had always wondered why. When he saw Qin Yu's eyes today, he thought of the day when Qin Yu was in Fuyuan Building. It seemed that Gu Cheng'an and him had known each other for a long time.
Qin Yu's silence confirmed his guess.
"So Ali was targeted because of you?"
After Jin Duobao finished speaking, everyone present looked at Qin Yu.
"Okay, no matter what the reason is, things have come to this, and we still have to win the game. Do you really want to see me being kicked out of Kyoto? And never come here again?" Shen Li said.
Talking about this at this time can easily affect one's mentality, so she must stop talking about this topic.
"A Li is right. If there is anything, let's talk about it after the game." Shen Liang said.
"Look, Gu Chengan's team is on the court." Ruan Heng said.
Several people looked towards the field.
Shen Li didn’t know whether Qin Yu had seen Gu Cheng’an play Cuju, but Jin Duobao had definitely seen it. As for the others, none of them had seen it.
So they all thought about observing carefully, but they heard the referee say: "Since the opponent team admitted defeat, Team 7 will advance directly."
